The Rejoice Open Thread!

Regardless of our views of the next PM, I hope we can all unite in delight at this moment of history:


Update 8.30pm. I knew Mandy was powerful, but I didn’t realise he’d taken on the role of confirming the next Prime Minister:


Another update:

(OK, I’ll stop now)

Sorry – one more update. Is Mishal Husain a secret Tory?

    As I said on the other thread, there are (unconfirmed) reports of men and wonem weeping at the BBC.

    Anybody able to confirm this?

      We need more than one comment in Guido’s thread to confirm that, I think. Wouldn’t surprise me though – Richard Bacon was clearly moved (and angry).

    The more details that are revealed of Cameron’s overgenerous settlement with the Lib Dems the more I feel like weeping.

    Will it’s a price worth paying, getting rid of the Socialist Scottish Mafia scum is worth it. The BBC will be gutted.

    Also note that the Tory LD coalition has OVER 50% of the vote so cannot be called undemocratic, but I’m sure the BBC will try to pull it apart.

    Fact is Liebour will now tear itself apart, the UNITE vermin will try to take over the leadership.

    Also on a plus point, the jocks might finally have a referendum and grow the balls to fuck off from England, we can only pray.

    I  look forward to the Beeb’s  unbiased valedictory programme of James Gordon Brown (ex PM).  I know it will be honest, pointing out all his good qualities and how he has been of great service to this country.   As the Beeb will insist on being honest  it will be shown on CBBC as a fairy tale.

    Getting rid of the Brown thug dictatorship was the single most important thing. The last five days of seeing him squatting there and refusing to go has been excruciating mental torture. Tonight the overwhelming feeling is of sheer relief to see the back of Brown and his unelected scheming bullying thugs Mandy, Campbell and co.

      I echo those thoughts entirely, not too mention thugs like McBride, Whelan and Draper.  Brown conducted politics at the level of the gutter and we’ve got to drag our country up from there now.

      That said, a very worthwile valedictory speech, especially on our fallen servicemen.  I think the moment and the words he chose to speak should be put before anything we might have to say on the man making them.

        But, the point is he didn’t mean it. Brown hates the military. 
        Anyway, we can all be agreed that it is great to get rid of the scumbag.

    David Cameron en route to Buckingham palace! Live covereage on BBC World News. Where the F…. are the Met Police? On BBC I have just seen some idiot waving to the helicopter taking close ups of DC in hiscar. The security guys got out  minutes later. It looked bad. 
    David Dimbelby trashing DC before he arrives..Eton, Oxford…. Typical BBC. 
    Thank God for this moment. Christ how low, desperate and despicable are the Labour Party. How power corrupts! Any action to stay in power! I notice Ed Balls is on BBC World smiling, amicable, candidate like. Pass the sick bucket!

    Whilst David Cameron is live at the palace, historic moment etc, the BBC cuts away to Gordon Brown at his Labour Party headquarters.

    And predictably, there’s the yelping, screaming and whooping from the staff – just like a typical ITV X-factor (or BBC come dancing) audience!

      Why isn;t the BBC questioning why the hell Bown scuttled before the formality of a Con/Lib deal ?   Surely the proper thing would have been to let them reach their deal,  and let the Libs approve it in party session this evening.   Postponing the visit to the Palace until, say, 9pm.  HM The Queen would have waited up.

      Almost looks like Brown seeking to put The Queen in some difficulty on this timing.

          I wouldn’t bank on that – The socialists have infested every institution. The New Liberals at No 10 will not have the political will to reform these institutions.

          I heard Simon Hughes on Radio 4 tonight saying how he has fought for democracy for over 30 years – the same MPs who would gladly hand over what little democarcy we have left to the EU.

          Yes it is great to see Brown gone – but his legacy will live on in the New Liberal Party.

    David Dimbleby comments on the Tories now standing outside of No. 10/11 “it could be the catering staff” tres droll. Also Nick Robinson jokes about the most important people behind David Cameron now. Christ, what a snobby remark! Press photographers(paparazzi)  surrounding DCs car(silver Jaguar?) no attempt from the police to stop it! DC shook hands with the Queen but Micheal Heseltine “kissed hands” BBC/Wiki concern do they actually kiss hands now. “That awful man”(Prince Charles quote on BBC  reporter) saying its not done anymore. Ouch.

    David Cameron is in number 10 counting the silverware right now.  The gold has already gone.

    Just heard that Harriet Harm Man is the new labour leader.  I don’t know why Labour don’t just leave someone standing in the net kicking all the balls into their own goal mouth.  No doubt the witch is getting a big cauldron on the go at Labour HQ while she works on a spell to turn Britain into her utopia of all black females.

    Brown returning to his cave in Scotland so he can live out the rest of his meaningless life with the rest of the caber tossing savages which forced a hung parliament in the first place.

    Hopefully the corridors of Broadcasting House are currently being redecorated with the brains of depressed communists right now.

    Graceless and hate-filled to the last, Brown in his speech to the party, making bitter hate remarks directed at the Tories ref the election and Labour stopping them winning. Nasty, horrible, poisonous, poisonous man and party of ugly words and sentiments, belying all the pious claims of “progressiveness”, fairness and all the rest of its cynical repetitive claptrap. Such a small cramped pinched little soul that couldn’t find it in him to say a decent word for their winning rivals.

    We will now finally see the BBC report on the damage to the economy etc  the Tories have done – starting from tomorrow. Brown and Mandleson will be permenant fixtures on weekly “analysis” programmes reporting on how Tory policies will leave the British economy in a worse state that Greece. The “Liberal” half of this New Liberal government will be excused as they have never governed before.

      I have the feeling that when the books are opened we are all in for a shock. A shock that the BBC will not be able to spin away. Not just mismanagement but much much worse. This is why nulabour were so desperate.
      I hope Cameron has the guts to tell all to us.
      On another matter I am sure the rage of middle England on the blogs put the wind up the elite. They are all cowards at heart and had no real stomach for a fight. It is the same with the BBC. Cowardice is in it’s dna but that won’t stop it whining.

    What are the chances of David Cameron liberalising his ‘social liberal’ policies so Christians aren’t persecuted for observing their faith?  Even less likely now with Clegg.  One thing I’m sure we’ll see, just like the BBC did incessantly with the Tory Party over Europe, they are going to be going full out to drive a wedge between this coalition to make it fall.  If Cameron was worthwile, he’ll be drawing up plans now on how to deal with this.  But he wont.  Until the bratocracy are slapped down things are going to carry on getting worse in our country.

    Does Alastair Campbell have a fulltime job now going from BBC studio to studio? (He was on Sky as well. And probably ITV news as too, though I can’t keep track of all his appearances.) THis brute was supposed to have been sacked from the government in 2003 – all of seven years ago!  Yet here he is like a jack-in-the-box popping up to scheme and connive and constantly in our faces spewing bile and hatred. The ugly face of Labour.

    What desperate BBC political propaganda, global style:

    “Thompson: BBC vital to UK global image”

    http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/broadcasting/news/a219423/thompson-bbc-vital-to-uk-global-image.html?rss

     Yes, the BBC’s global message about Britain, includes:

    1.) ‘We are guilt-ridden Western liberals who emphasise that Britain is to blame for many of the world’s problems in history’.

    2.)’We favour that the European Union take over UK national sovereignty’.

    3.)’We support the Islamic countries against Israel.’

    4.) ‘We want Britain to cease to be populated by predominantly indigenous people, and increasingly become superseded by waves of mass immigration from Asia and Africa’.

     All the above BBC policies would, it is sure, make the BBC popular in any United Nations General Assembly vote.

     What the opinions of the British licencepayers are to all this is irrelevant to the BBC.
